FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance typically offers a consistent fit; however, if you have wider feet, you may consider trying a half-size up to account for the structure of the overlays.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No. While the 740 design is inspired by historical running shoes, it is intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-performance endurance running.
How do I clean the blue and grey colors without fading?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleaches that may affect the fabric dyes.
Is the sole removable?
Yes, most New Balance lifestyle shoes feature a removable insole if you need to insert personal orthotics.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 740 is designed as a unisex model, suitable for anyone regardless of gender identity.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from drying out or discoloring.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
This is a natural occurrence with mesh and synthetic overlays. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure.
Dirt stuck in the open-knit mesh
Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently flick debris out of the netting gaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, ensure you adjust the lacing tension across the midfoot to match your foot shape for optimal lockdown. For care, avoid using a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized netting and adhesive components. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush and a mild detergent solution. For the mesh portions, gently dab rather than scrub to avoid fabric pilling. Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy.
